Glad to see that the link issue STILL hasn't been resolved when one goes back to edit one's post. Grrrrr..... I emailed Ennio about this like 30 times.

The above link is the company that Stanford is using to conduct its NAC clinical trials.

It's important to take NAC as a "fizzy tab" as the others mentioned and not as a powder form in a capsule.

NAC as powder can oxidize and end up being harmful to the body. Fizzy tabs oxidize less (notice how bioadvantex has each tab individually wrapped).

Stanford talks extensively about this on their patient education day (you can order those DVD's from Stanford to learn more).

Faust and Sakasuka, you both seem to be quite knowledgeable about this and since this is the first I'm hearing of it can you tell me what exactly it does? Also I've heard that Glutathine can be harmful if taken by people with Cepacia (something to do with it relieving the inflamation so much that it allows for the Cepacia to pass through the tissues more easily and get into the blood stream)? I'm very interested in trying this but would like some more info, or maybe you could direct me somewhere that I can find out about it and what it does for CFers. I would search but I'm at work sneaking in a bit here and there so I have to do it as quick as possible <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Here's a good article on it.

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2006/march15/med-cfibrosis-031506.html">http://news-service.stanford.e...-cfibrosis-031506.html</a>

and this is what it does specifically.

"People with cystic fibrosis have a defective or missing version of a protein responsible for releasing glutathione into the extracellular spaces. This problem is particularly acute in the airways, where bacteria accumulate. White blood cells known as neutrophils are called to the lungs to fight infection but stumble into an ambush. Although it isn't clear why, the arriving neutrophils are doomed. They act strangely and begin to die.

Before they expire, they secrete a factor called interleukin-8, which recruits yet more neutrophils to the scene. They also pepper the surrounding cells with high levels of oxidants and other tissue-damaging molecules and, in a final blow, release DNA and a protein called elastase, both of which increase the sticky, disease-trapping properties of the airway mucous. It's a vicious, viscous circle that leaves sufferers gasping for breath and prone to infection.

NAC treatment throws a wrench into this process. The researchers found that circulating neutrophils from cystic fibrosis patients contained much less glutathione than did neutrophils from healthy patients. They theorized that neutrophils must depend on cells around them to maintain their glutathione levels. In cystic fibrosis patients, that help isn't forthcoming, so the neutrophils don't function properly.

The NAC treatment not only increased the amount of glutathione in circulating neutrophils, it also decreased the number of neutrophils and the levels of elastase and interleukin-8 in the airways. It was safe and well tolerated by the participants, who said they felt better during the study. A Phase 2 trial to confirm the findings has already enrolled all its subjects. "

Also another way to get NAC is mucomyst, it's a 20% NAC solution. Just mix it with a little club soda and down it.

I've been interested in starting my daughter on NAC for awhile now but haven't been able to find any info on dosing for children. She weighs about 43 lbs. Any ideas?

Amy and Chris what has NAC done for you? I've read the articles and watched the video just interested in hearing from someone who is taking it.

Thanks
